Thanks man

Keep us posted on how those 44s hold up to the Treps.

so far so good. I’m not a send it type of wheeler. They did great on the shakedown at gulches. I wheeled this jeep on a Dana 30/44 with 37s for a few years with no issues.

Update on the build. It’s held up great on some tough trails. We’ve hit GER, AOAA, Rausch and Uwharrie. We hit the reds and double blacks at AOAA and rausch with no issues.

Those Treps really set it off! The whole rigg is bad-ass! Nice build!

... Also like the play on "TJK". I have Gladiator control arms in my TJ so I put "TJT" on the side lol... Good lookin' out!

Been wanting to add these style lights for some time. Finally got around to doing them. Happy with the outcome

The yellow lights sets the subtle color scheme of your Jeep. Silver, red, black, Yellow..

This picture really helps me understand how different components affect peoples builds. As you know, I have JK axles, 37's, & Metalcloak arched fenders. The use of a flat pitman & high steer knuckles severely limited articulated up-travel, especially when right front (passenger) tire was stuffed and wheels turned "Passenger". The drag link would hit the frame rail. It's clearly evident that your jeep does not have this problem.

Yeah it’s those small things. I do not have have that issue. In the front the only clearance issue I had was my passenger side sway bar mount. I had to cut it off and weld up straight to clear for the drag link
